Haiku

[Candy_Kane54]

You needed the kind of
Help that I couldn't give you.
Even though I tried.

 

[Candy_Kane54]

Why couldn't I see
The problem and do the right
Thing to save you hurt?

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

A bird shat on me.
A sign of good things to come.
Shit, it shat again.

 

[EbersMoll]

Presents from above
Sometimes, manna from heaven,
Other times, pure shit.

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Peach in a hot bath.
Raindrops smack the frosty glass
Thick steam hides the peach.

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

tonight the moon arcs.
a thin fishhook in the sky,
it drags me along

 

[SmilingLez]

Turkey in the oven,
Family chatting and laughing,
Thanksgiving's almost here.

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

A pink winter rose,
wilted petals hoar frosted.
Touch it tenderly.

 

[Biggalute]

Freshly defrosted
A bird beyond pardoning
Thank you, Mr Turkey.

 

[SmilingLez]

Turkey in the fridge,
Sweet potatoes call my name,
Thanksgiving never ends.

 

[HectorBidon]

My grandson climbs up
And strings the lights agilely.
Like I used to.

 

[A_Little_Bite]

“Careful on the ice”
Telling myself as I walk
Rethinking my move

 

[latecomer91364]

Haikus are stupid
They don't even fucking rhyme
Feng Shui this, bitches

 

[A_Little_Bite]

Holiday dinner
Sis’ new beau looks familiar.
I’ll need more egg nog.

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

cactus flower blooms.
A rebellion
Against the heat death.

 

[EbersMoll]

In the icy wind
A Winter Daphne flowers
With such sweet perfume.

 

[A_Little_Bite]

Daylight through curtains
Panicked steps until I think
I don’t work today

 

[SmilingLez]

In honor of national polar plunge day (January the 1st)

Chill waves crash and roar,
Brave souls plunge in winter's bite,
Laughter warms the cold.

 

[Voboy]

Headlines bring panic!!!!
Historians know better.
It's happened before.

 

[HectorBidon]

Cat under the tree,
Safe from falling needles
As I unstring the lights.

 

[EbersMoll]

Last, long vacation,
Ends Monday, but very soon,
Retirement begins.

 

[SmilingLez]

Five stars fuel my pen
Readers' praise, my sole reward
Benjamins tempts me now

 

[WaxPhilosophic]

Hey! You're in my ass!
A kiss first would have been nice.
Colonoscopy.

 

[EbersMoll]

Nothing fends off sleep
Like knowing the alarm’s set
For an early start.

 

[Bluebanzai]

Sleep? To sleep, perchance
To dream. Nightmares of scansion,
Polysyllabic.
